This paper validates, with a linear model, the theoretical construction that specifies negative relationship between interest rate differential and exchange rate in the BRICS countries. Further probe with a nonlinear model reveals that exchange rate responds asymmetrically to interest rate differential in the countries. In all, we show that accounting for asymmetry and structural breaks enhance the relationship.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
